This is to let you know that we are awfully sorry about what happenedwith the Cyberstar press release. In the process of validating a listof people who expressed their interest in the cyberstar competition,we tested it against our other lists. To our deep regret, the finalmailing was mistakenly based on the list used for testing, not theintended one.

The flood of messages that you all experienced was caused by"unsubscribe-requests", to the Cyberstar-L mailing list, from a largenumber of people who unexpectedly got our message. Since the mailingwas intended as a simple press release no list server was supposed tobe used in the first place.

We would like to apologize to all of you whose mailboxes werecluttered with junkmail.
